Cool! I Know A Rocket Scientist By Proxy!

The web can be really boring. Especially when people you know only update their blogs on religious holidays. So sometimes I find myself searching other friends' blogs (not linked here) for interesting updates. Rarely, I find something pretty cool. As is the case of the Astronomy Picture Of The Day site, compliments of NASA. I came by this site through a link to a blog of a friend of a friend (C). I vaguely recall meeting this friend of C at the airport in Athens when the two flew in on a Cessna 152. The same plane I was flying briefly back when I had a job that provided lots of free time for that sort of thing. But damn it's expensive! Since then, she's (as far as I can tell from the blog) gone on to work at Mission Control in Houston. How cool is that?! Anyway, the Astronomy Picture Of The Day site has some pretty good pictures of the cosmos and other space-related stuff.
